Background
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), through the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), is seeking information from qualified vendors to support the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Geostationary Earth Orbit Observations (GEO) Program. This initiative aims to gather market intelligence and technical approaches for a potential future procurement of a 'Mission Integration Prime' capability for managing mission integration functions related to the GeoXO series satellites, which are critical for continuous weather monitoring and environmental observations across the Western Hemisphere.

The GeoXO program is a follow-on to the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES)-R series, with an initial launch planned for 2032.

Work Details
The Mission Integration Prime (MIP) contractor will provide comprehensive services including:

1. Launch Vehicle Services:
- Two launch vehicles for GeoXO-1 and GeoXO-2 satellites.
- Management of launch campaign planning, operations, licensing, and countdown execution.
- Development and verification of launch vehicle integration requirements.
- Integration of satellites with launch vehicles.

2. Payload Processing Services:
- Management of a payload processing facility for GeoXO-1 and GeoXO-2 satellites.
- Support in logistics, processing, testing, and fueling at the facility.

3. Mission Operations Services:
- Facilities, antennas, ground systems, and personnel to operate satellites from lift-off through 10 years of on-orbit operations.
- Pre-launch readiness testing and operations product development.
- Command and control operations for both satellites from lift-off through their operational lifetime.
- Data uplink/downlink from an FCC L-band protected ground station using a FISMA compliant system.
- Real-time operations management including spacecraft activation and post-launch testing.
- Generation of Instrument Level 1b (L1b) science products from raw data.

Period of Performance
The contract will encompass activities leading up to the initial launch planned for 2032 and will continue through 10 years of operational support for each satellite post-launch.

Place of Performance
The contract activities will primarily take place at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) and associated facilities.
